[ILUG] Suse init scripts

[Brian O'Mahony]

Ok I don't use Suse a whole lot, generally being Debian or RedHat myself. I posted this on linuxforums.org. 60 views, no responses. Thought I might try here:

So ive got a Suse server up and running. It is connecting to a clearcase server, so i want to mount the remote filesystem as part of startup, as this is generally rebooted when im not around.

I would normally add something to /etc/init.d and put the shortcut to it in the appropriate runlevel (in this case 3). Tried that. Didnt work.

Realised the init script needed to have the LSB stuff at the start, so put that in, and used insserv to add the script. I used required-start set to $ALL

This successfully created the init script with S20, and i enabled it with chkconfig.

So i reboot. This also didnt work. Now im getting the error:
cat /var/log/boot.msg | grep mount
mount: can't get address for tiny
Starting service automounter..done

Changed it to IP and on reboot it shows this:
mount server reported tcp not available, falling back to udp
mount: RPC: Remote system error - Network is unreachable
mount server reported tcp not available, falling back to udp
mount: RPC: Remote system error - Network is unreachable

So basically it looks like the mount is trying to happen well before the network is up. It actually happens right after:

Any ideas?

I have realized I hate this LSB stuff :P
